Detsch R, Sarker B, Zehnder T, Boccaccini AR, Douglasa TELet al., 2014, Additive manufacturing of cell-loaded alginate enriched with alkaline phosphatase for bone tissue engineering application, BioNanoMaterials, Vol: 15, Pages: 79-87, ISSN: 2193-0651

Hydrogels are gaining interest as scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration due to ease of incorporation of cells and biological molecules such as enzymes. Mineralization of hydrogels, desirable for bone tissue regeneration applications, may be achieved enzymatically by incorporation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Additive manufacturing techniques such as bioplotting enable the layer-by-layer creation of three-dimensional hydrogel scaffolds with highly defined geometry and internal architecture. In this study, we present a novel method to produce macroporous hydrogel scaffolds in combination with cell-loaded capsule-containing struts by 3D bioplotting. This approach enables loading of the capsules and strut phases with different cells and/or bioactive substances and hence makes compartmentalization within a scaffold possible. 3D porous alginate scaffolds enriched with ALP and MG-63 osteoblast-like cells were produced by bioplotting struts of alginate which were loaded with pre-fabricated alginate capsules. Two combinations were compared, namely ALP in the struts and cells in the capsules and vice-versa. Both combinations were cytocompatible for cells and mineralization of scaffolds could be detected in both cases, according to an OsteoImage staining. ALP had no adverse effect on cytocompatibility and enhanced mitochondrial activity.

Patra C, Boccaccini AR, Engel FB, 2014, Vascularisation for cardiac tissue engineering: the extracellular matrix., Thrombosis and Haemostasis, Vol: 113, Pages: 532-547, ISSN: 0340-6245

Cardiovascular diseases present a major socio-economic burden. One major problem underlying most cardiovascular and congenital heart diseases is the irreversible loss of contractile heart muscle cells, the cardiomyocytes. To reverse damage incurred by myocardial infarction or by surgical correction of cardiac malformations, the loss of cardiac tissue with a thickness of a few millimetres needs to be compensated. A promising approach to this issue is cardiac tissue engineering. In this review we focus on the problem of in vitro vascularisation as implantation of cardiac patches consisting of more than three layers of cardiomyocytes (> 100 µm thick) already results in necrosis. We explain the need for vascularisation and elaborate on the importance to include non-myocytes in order to generate functional vascularised cardiac tissue. We discuss the potential of extracellular matrix molecules in promoting vascularisation and introduce nephronectin as an example of a new promising candidate. Finally, we discuss current biomaterial-based approaches including micropatterning, electrospinning, 3D micro-manufacturing technology and porogens. Collectively, the current literature supports the notion that cardiac tissue engineering is a realistic option for future treatment of paediatric and adult patients with cardiac disease.

Highly porous 45S5 bioactive glass-based scaffolds prepared by foam replication method were coated with cellulose nanowhiskers by dip coating method. The obtained cellulose nanowhisker-coated scaffolds retained the high porosity and interconnected pore structure. The cellulose coating improved the mechanical properties of the scaffolds and did not hinder their bioactivity in simulated body fluid. In vitro biocompatibility assessment was carried out by qualitative evaluation of the morphology of osteoblast-like cells (MG-63) seeded onto the scaffolds. The cells were shown to attach and spread on both uncoated scaffolds and cellulose nanowhisker-coated scaffolds, thus cellulose nanowhisker coating seems to have no negative influence on the behavior of MG-63 cells. The obtained bioactive and biocompatible composite scaffolds represent promising candidates for bone tissue engineering applications.
